A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within New South Wales Who Chose To Be Featured
1486. Siobhanholmes30 : Working with little information but was told (may be incorrect) My adoption & Birth took place in ACT but my birth mother came from Sydney area NSW and returned after I was born.
My birth father was apparently a mechanic in Sydney also Heydon Harvey
I don't have any other details unfortunately
1487. Astridm2695 : Looking for my older brother.
I have reason to believe my older brother is alive‚ and has been placed in adoption or foster care.
He would have been born around 1992‚ give or take a year.
The birth place would have been the John hunter hospital‚ and the birth mothers name would be Sylvia Johnson (Nee Hunter)
And the fathers name if recorded would be Michael Monaghan.
I have had no contact with my brother‚ and I was raised by these same parents‚ so I very well assume this was a closed adoption.
I was told that he was dead‚ but I cannot find a death record and I believe that he may be alive.
There is a good chance that he may have sustained a disability or utero injuries‚ as it has been said my mother fell down some stairs during the late stages of her pregnancy.
Something seems super off about it and I believe my brother is alive somewhere.
I need to know what happened to him. My father has told me what he can‚ and my sister too‚ but they are both entirely unsure on the dates‚ and neither had ever sighted him. The only one to see him was my mother. And she does not have a picture of him‚ a death record‚ or anything. She isn't the nicest person‚ and was neglectful as we were growing up as my sister confirmed‚ she could have left him at the hospital for all we know at this stage.
I'd just like to find him.
Even if it's just to know that he exists and what he looks like.
Even if it's just to find out that he did pass.
I do not wish to pass this information on to my family myself‚ however‚ if I find him alive‚ I am happy to share their contact details to him so that he may contact them himself if he so chooses.
1489. Jemma1968 : My son was born in Nepean hospital and was re named Michael Laurence surname withheld. Adoption was carried out via Catholic Adoption Agency in Sydney CBD. This agency to my knowledge has ceased operations.
1491. Ceekay63 : Belinda Margaret Knight
Changed name to Kay Spalding when adopted.
Born at Hornsby Hospital on the 2nd or November 1963
Birth mother: Gwendoline Rona Knight
Adopted parents: Wendy Isobel Spalding and Maxwell Gordon Spalding
Adopted 13th September 1965
1492. Martkath1966 : My birth mother’s name is Diane Codling and she was 19. Birth father is not on certificate so have no idea who he is but would love to meet him as well if possible. I was adopted out at around 6 weeks old and was born on 30 September 1966 in the Camperdown Children’s Hospital and my birth mother gave me the name Leanne. My adoptee parents have now both passed and were wonderful parents. I have been thinking about doing this for over 30 years but was always hesitant and the time is now before it’s too late.
1493. Maureenwheeler28 : I was born at Crown Street Hospital in Sydney Australia‚ on 28/01/1960. I am now 65 years and my adoptive parents are deceased. I grew up in Broken Hill NSW. I was named Maureen Carmel McReynolds by my adoptive parents. I had a good childhood‚ but would love to make contact with my birth mother and any siblings that I may have. The only information I have is that my birth mother was 16 years old and quite tall.
1494. MelissaRae88 : Hi my name is Melissa Rae. I’m 56 years old and I was born the year after you.
I believe you were born in Sydney or at least NSW. Also that you were adopted or fostered by a Christian organisation.
Hopefully you have had a good life- I only recently learned of your existence.
Best wishes. Melissa.

1499. Emerald333 : Hello. I am searching for my half-brother who was adopted out by my mother‚ Sharon‚ approx 3 years before my birth (1976). I was told he has the same birth date as me‚ February 20‚ and that his father‚ ’Laurie’ was killed in a motorcycle accident. She gave him the name Darren‚ but I believe his adoptive parents named him David...last name ?Ritchie. My mother lived in Broken Hill‚ NSW‚ Australia at the time. My mother managed to find where he was and made contact with his parents‚ who were living in Sydney at the time‚ but I believe he was not interested in seeing her (he is obviously a good judge of character!). Then she had the audacity to write him a letter telling him he was being ungrateful to his adoptive parents!!!!! I have no idea if she is still in contact with the parents as I have permanently cut contact with her about 10 years ago. I just would like to tell my brother that he is welcome to contact me and get to know each other a bit.

I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
